The Portuguese League decided this Friday to call an emergency meeting with all the clubs, a meeting scheduled for this Saturday morning. After this decision, the Feirense-Chaves was postponed, this Friday night, due to the existence of four cases of Covid-19 in the Flavians.

In the meeting, which will take place by videoconference, scheduled to begin at 10 in the morning, the League will explain the reasons that led the Chaves Chief of Health to request the cancellation of the match. For this emergency meeting, the Portugal League summoned the medical managers of all the Professional Football Sports Societies.

It should be remembered that this match on the first day of the II League was postponed, on a day in which the Flavian team revealed that they had had four positive results against covid-19 in their working group.

With both teams ready to start the match, referee João Gonçalves received a phone call and briefly traveled to the access tunnel to the pitch. In the television broadcast of Sport TV, the delegates of the Portuguese Professional Football League could also be seen talking on the phone, along with several executives from both clubs.

Already 27 minutes after the scheduled time for the start of the match, the referee whistled the players to leave the dressing room, without any official information having been provided so far.

During the morning, Desportivo de Chaves revealed that two players and two members of the technical team of Desportivo de Chaves were infected with the new coronavirus.

Midfielder Guzzo and goalkeeper Samu, as well as assistant coaches Pedro Machado and Tiago Castro, tested positive “although asymptomatic,” the Trás-os-Montes club revealed in a statement.

After all these events, the League announced the suspension of the Academico de Viseu-Académica, scheduled for 11 am on Saturday; as well as a meeting with the Secretary of State for Health on Monday.
